[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi a szervita rend hét szent alapítója ünnepén

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus lays down the conditions of
discipleship.A few verses before our reading, Jesus predicted his Passion
for the first time. He will sacrifice himself in love for the other—and in
this, he will come to deeper life and become a source of life to others.
Ronald Knox talked about the sign of the cross this way: the first two
gestures form the letter "I," and the next two cross it out. That’s what
the cross of Jesus meant and means.In this scene, he gathers the crowd with
his disciples and pronounces the formula for following him. We ought to be
listening too with great attention: "Whoever wishes to come after me must
deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me." The path of discipleship
is the path of self-sacrificing love, and that means the path of suffering.
*
*Then the great paradox: "For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it,
but whoever loses his life for my sake and that of the Gospel will save
it." Put that over your door, on the refrigerator, on your screensaver.
There is no better one-line guide to  the happy life.*

*Dicsőség az Atyának, a Fiúnak és a Szentléleknek most és mindörökké. Ámen.*
